Tucker Carlson addresses ex-staffer’s racist posts, goes on vacation

In a brief set of prepared comments, Tucker Carlson (finally) addressed the revelation that his now-former top writer, Blake Neff, was secretly posting racist and sexist material on an online forum. "On Friday, many of those posts became public," Carlson said. "Blake was horrified by the story and he was ashamed. Friday afternoon he resigned from his job."
Carlson said the comments Neff wrote under a pseudonym on the online forum were "wrong" and that he does not "endorse those words." Carlson continued, "It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control. In this country, we judge people for what they do, not for how they were born. We often say that because we mean it." Carlson added that Neff "fell short of that standard and he has paid a very high price for it."

  1. When we pretend we are holy?
    Like Dumpster gassing people and then holding a Bible (backwards) at a church?

  2. “beating their chests at the destruction of a young man”
    Dude destroyed himself. The media didn’t make him racist….he did.

    1. @Patriotic Constitutionalist and yet you still act amazed that the term racist and racism has changed….
      Also just because you have bi racial family dosent excuse you from being a racist.

    2. @Tyeler Nowell But just cause you say I’m a racist makes me one huh…….I got a buddy Jordan that would slap the taste out of your mouth for saying such, clearly a black man that has more sense than this thread.

    3. @Patriotic Constitutionalist Lol oh for sure I’m sure you checked every dictionary in the world prior to 1995. Look at this guy what a genius.

      Put your money where your mouth is. Call somebody a racial slur and explain to them that you’re not being racist. Go on. Tell us what happens.

    1. @13 13 It seems that either you don’t understand the translation or your just another useful idiot of the right.
      I’m not sure why though, cuz if your handle means what I think it means, then you should know that the right is no friend of yours.

    2. @Phillip Powell The only “useful idiot” is who the term was originally created to describe, the left. Moron.

  3. I can imagine the conversations Carlson has with his writer when there’s nobody else around to hear.

    1. He probably thinks on what type of strategy to use for right wingers to believe theres going to be some civil war

  4. Carlson said “we don’t endorse those words”. He didn’t say “we don’t endorse those ideas”… Shame on him and his gang of far right thugs.

  5. “You could spend your whole life in the US and never run into a white supremacist… unless he’s your head writer… or you look in the mirror.”

  6. Tucker’s face says that he doesn’t believe a word of his “apology”. The only people that will change Fox’s response are the sponsors. They need to stop funding him.

    1. @storksforever2000 Humor us. What is the theme? White supremacy exists. It was created by the democrats. BLM will burn out when they’ve been stopped in their tracks a few times by those who are willing to draw the line and believe you me that may come sooner rather than later.

    2. @celtic journey yet you blantebtly ignore that most white supremacist groups in America identify as conservative Christian Republicans…if it was a Democrat thing, why are the conservative Republican Christians?

    3. @Pamela Peterson You won’t make the slightest dent in their profits because you’re in a TINY minority. Tucker’s show is literally the highest-rated news show in the history of television, and CNN is somewhere around #19, behind Nickelodeon, HAHAHA. Liberals are shrinking in numbers daily because of the lunacy of the left (burning our cities, murdering our police officers and destroying our national monuments). Tucker will always have the support of the VAST majority of Americans, and sponsors will stay where the profits are. You won’t change a damn thing. 😅😆🤣

    1. @Daddy Dad Tucker Carlson is certainly not a racist period! However, you’re looking at one of the worst racists as far as journalists go in “The sad Don LaMon! Brian “Uncle Toad” Stelter isn’t far behind!

    2. @khurram janjua Again, for what?! Reporting the news far more accurately and honestly than these 3 stooges?!

    3. @Awoke! Awoke! Of course you’re an idiot! Believe you me, Tucker is one person that doesn’t side step conflict. He meets it head on and has proven that by having some of the most racist bastards on his show and then shutting them down completely!

  7. *”it is wrong to attack people whose qualities they cannot control” so Blake Neff can’t control his racism how convenient an excuse for racist and for Tucker Carlson*

    1. Umm, no he was still in the process of condemning Neff when he said that and only switched to talk about left-wing boogeymen in the next sentence.

  8. “The destruction of a young man.” LoL made it sound like someone blew him up with 🧨 instead simply facing the natural consequences for being outed as a racist ghoul.

  9. Am I the only one that feels like when Tucker talks it sounds like he is talking to a very very slow person.

    1. @William Matthews Oh yea! Is that why he has the number one ranked slot on cable news?! These 3 thugs from counter-fit news Network aren’t even ranked. That’s cause there not journalists, they’re liars!

    2. @Nurse Blacke Yup, you got that right! No need to spin the dial like these 3 thugs from CNN. Tucker’s reporting is accurate and honest!

    3. @celtic journey That says more about America than anything else. It appears this will be the country where the Fourth Reich is likely to first wave its ugly head.

    4. Because he swings moderate lefties to conservative on a regular basis, and you have to talk very slowly to lefties until they snap out of it.

  10. “It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control.” – an actual racist, fear mongerer, and Bunker Boy sycophant

    1. So we should feel sorry for someone, because they can’t help that there racist,so the racist person,is the real victim,is what he’s saying 🤔🤔🤔

  11. So let’s pull out the God shaming tactic Tucker, then run away on a “pre planned” vacation.🙄
    Pathetic.

    1. Seems like whenever Tucker is under fire he goes on vacation. Faux “News” hosts have no shame

  12. Tucker: “Angrier about the reporting than about the racism.” Yep, that just about says it all!
